UNESCO Reports 2.4 Million Afghan Girls Denied Access to Secondary Education

11 Ağustos 2026DW

Five years after the Taliban's return to power, approximately 2.4 million girls in Afghanistan are still barred from attending secondary school. UNESCO has raised alarms about the potential long-term social and economic impacts of this exclusion.
The situation highlights the ongoing struggles for gender equality in education within the country.
Since the Taliban regained control in 2021, there have been widespread reports of human rights violations, particularly against women and girls. The ban on secondary education for girls is part of a broader pattern of restrictions that have drawn condemnation from various international organizations.
The continued denial of education to Afghan girls not only undermines their individual rights but also poses significant risks to the country's future development. By restricting access to education, the Taliban is perpetuating a cycle of poverty and limiting opportunities for economic growth.
